Chapter 84
Chapter 84 Sending rouge to please people
Zhang Qiushui was extremely happy when he saw that Su Jinxiu agreed.
Just then Deng Damu came to pick her up, and she returned home happily.
Looking at her light steps, Su Jinxiu shook her head and smiled.
Now she can have a small cup of spiritual spring at her fingertips, which is enough for whatever she wants.
After making dinner, it was getting dark and the two brothers hadn't come back yet.
Su Jinxiu was a little worried, holding a lantern and preparing to pick someone up.
When I walked to the door, I saw two brothers running towards me.
"Why are you so late in the past two days? You got into trouble and got detained by your husband?"
The two brothers shook their heads and quickly pulled Su Jinxiu into the house.
Su Shangwu wiped the sweat from his head and urged Su Shangwen.
"Brother, take it out quickly."
Su Shangwen carefully took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to Su Jinxiu.
"Sister, take a look, do you like it?"
Su Jinxiu looked surprised, raised her eyebrows, and opened the inner and outer layers of paper.
Inside, there is a small box of rouge.
Under the expectant eyes of the two brothers, she opened it and smelled it.
The pungent aroma made them sneeze several times.
Su Shangwu covered his nose while Ah Qiu couldn't stop.
"Brother, why are you so annoying?"
Su Shangwen didn't know either, he frowned and shook his head.
"Maybe this is the smell, sister, do you like this rouge?"
It's rare for the two little ones to know how to care for their sister. No matter what the rouge looks like, Su Jinxiu is always happy.
"I like it, I like it very much.
You two came back so late these past two days just to buy me rouge?
Isn’t it cheap? Where did you get the money?”
Su Shangwu hesitated and winked at Su Shangwen.
"It's not easy to buy. I heard it's the most fashionable style in the capital..."
Su Shangwen also knew that nothing could be hidden from Su Jinxiu, so he admitted it coyly.
"Shang Wu and I helped people copy calligraphy in school, and with the pocket money given by my sister, we just had enough to buy a box.
For now, don't tell your mother.
Next time I earn some money from Shang Wu and buy it for my mother."
Su Jinxiu felt distressed and moved, and touched the heads of the two brothers.
"If you need money from now on, go to Sister A and don't do those things.
Wash your hands and eat."
The two brothers nodded and ran out the door.
Su Shangwen was worried and looked back at Su Jinxiu.
"Sister, I heard from my husband's wife.
If a woman uses this rouge, she will soon be able to find her favorite husband.
You, you must remember to use it!"
Su Jinxiu put away the rouge, which was a little funny.
"knew……"
——————————
Early the next morning, Su Jinxiu got up, washed up, and took out the rouge.
I soaked some of it and put two drops of spiritual spring water on my face.
Presumably, this should not cause disfigurement.
She couldn't let the two brothers' kindness go to waste.
Now there is enough water from the spiritual spring, and there is still enough extra to give two drops to this face.
After touching the rouge and leaving the door, the two brothers' expectant eyes fell on Su Jinxiu's face.
Su Shangwu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly wiped the cart.
"Sister, you look so beautiful today.
She is the most beautiful girl in our village."
I was originally worried that my sister wouldn't use it, but it seems that she really likes it.
Su Shangwen nodded, rarely speaking sweetly.
"That's natural. It doesn't matter whose sister you are."
On the way, the two brothers' fancy rainbow farts were very useful to Su Jinxiu.
The depression of the past few days has finally disappeared.
After sending the two brothers to school, she drove the bullock cart back to Ruyi Restaurant.
After tying up the ox cart, we just entered the kitchen.
Li Manhong came over and handed Su Jinxiu a cup of tea.
"Shopkeeper Su, are we still selling chicken soup today?"
Su Jinxiu waved her hands, rolled up her sleeves, took out a large pot and put in the marinade.
"No, we sell shredded chicken today.
Could you please Aunt Li and Aunt Wang to kill the chicken, clean it and bring it over?"
While the two of them were killing the chicken, Su Jinxiu added a few drops of spiritual spring water into the stew.
Put the cleaned chicken into the stewed soup for an hour, take it out and let it cool.
Tear it into pieces with your hands, mix in the chili pepper, ginger and garlic, and the aroma will come out as soon as the hot oil is poured on it.
It's hot today and I don't have much appetite.
To serve such a dish of shredded chicken, just add a sip of sour plum wine, and it's not too flavourful.
Su Jinxiu cooked the shredded chicken and handed it to Li Manhong.
"Aunt Li, take it out and give it to Uncle Lin to try.
I'm going to take a rest and call me when someone comes."
Li Manhong responded and saw Wang Shuangxi still in the kitchen, so she quickly pushed her out.
"What are you doing here? Go ahead and say hello."
Halfway there, Li Manhong suddenly covered her stomach.
"Oh, no, I have a stomachache and I have to go to the hut.
You send it over, and if Uncle Lin asks about it, help me round it off."
Wang Shuangxi nodded and brought the shredded chicken to the front.
"Shopkeeper Lin, shopkeeper Su wants you to have a taste."
Lin Bo tasted the shredded chicken. The chicken was tender yet chewy, spicy and very appetizing.
According to past practice, a new dish has been added today, and business should be very good.
But after noon, the chicken that had been prepared was not sold out.
On the contrary, it is Jixiang Restaurant, and the business is very good.
At night, Lin Bo was a little curious.
After asking around outside Jixiang Restaurant, I immediately understood what was going on.
He returned to the restaurant and told Su Jinxiu about the incident.
"Jinxiu, their Jixiang Restaurant sells the same things as us.
It's much cheaper than ours, and I heard it even tastes the same.
What the hell is Zhang Wanliang doing? He really doesn't stop all day long."
Su Jinxiu put down her account book and frowned.
"Maybe it's a coincidence?"
Lin Bo knows Zhang Wanliang, this is definitely not a coincidence.
But Su Jinxiu didn't care, and he couldn't say much.
"By the way, Jinxiu girl, I found the house you asked me to find for you.
You are fine now, would you like to come with me to take a look?"
Su Jinxiu nodded, got up and walked out with Uncle Lin.
"become……"
She turned to look at Wang Shuangxi and Li Manhong and warned them.
"No one is coming to the door either. Aunts, please clean up and close the door!"
Li Manhong responded simply, closed the door and started cleaning up.
Wang Shuangxi felt troubled when he saw the chicken left in the kitchen. Shopkeeper Su told him not to sell overnight vegetables.
But there was so much chicken left, it would be a pity to throw it away.
Li Manhong stepped forward, picked up a chicken and gave it to Wang Shuangxi.
"It's going to be thrown away anyway, why not take it back to replenish the baby's health.
If you don’t tell me and I don’t tell you, Shopkeeper Su won’t know.”
She took the rest back and fed it to her children.
Wang Shuangxi thought that the baby at home had not eaten meat for a long time, so she couldn't hold it back and left with the chicken.
————————————
At night, a sneaky figure came out from behind Ruyi Restaurant.
Walking through the long alley, I looked around to make sure no one was following me.
Then he stepped away and entered an inconspicuous courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, Zhang Wanliang was already waiting there.
She was not polite and asked for money.
"I agreed to help you steal Su Jinxiu's cooking once, and you'll give her five taels of silver.
If I don’t come to you, will you forget about it?
Hurry, give it to me."
Zhang Wanliang took out the silver with a smile and handed it to Li Manhong with both hands.
"You are right under Su Jinxiu's nose, how can I dare to look for you?
Of course, what I promised to give you will not be missing."
